Ok, this lady is a nut, she has no chance in hell so we will leave it at that. Paul has no chance, as does any "libertarian". Their platform is no taxes, and no government regulation. but yet we still want schools, cops, ect. I have yet heard one of them explain where that money comes from. Also, the Bush years exposed what deregulation and lower taxes bring, its called financial collapse. Romney is the best candidate, but he has the personality of a tree stump, and once the tea party is done ripping him a new one in the primaries, he'll be too scared to beat Obama.

I wish this whole "Tea Party" crap had never been started. They really don't know their facts and all they've done is just be annoying. It's 2011, not 1779 or whatevs. We need /progression/, not /regression/.

| Don't count out Ron Paul, hes winning in most of the polls. I don't know why people think that the tea-party will have some kind of Ross Perot/Ralph Nader effect in the 2012 elections, because it certainly wasn't the case in the 2010 midterm elections, wishful thinking maybe? I think Obama is going to win, but it won't be because the teabaggers split the conservative vote. |
I agree with you on everything but Ron Paul. Nobody who says things like "I wouldn't go into Pakistan to get Bin Laden" "I'd cut all support to Israel" or "I'll immediately withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan" will EVER with the Republican nomination

I don't think any of those statements are that radical if you think about it, most of the people in the country want the troops to leave Iraq & Afghanistan. Just because he doesn't think we should be sending foreign aid to Israel doesn't make him anti-Israel. He doesn't think we should be sending foreign aid to any country, I've never heard him single out Israel.
The thing about Osama and Pakistan gets misrepresented. If some former I.R.A member was in the U.S wanted by the Irish government for some old nail bombing, and they came to the U.S and assassinated him or snatched him up and didn't tell our government anything about it, there would be a big stink about it, because countries can't just violate another countries sovereignty whenever they feel like it. Some of the highest profile terrorists that were wanted in the U.S. were actually captured by the Pakistan government and turned over to us, like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. So its not like the country hasn't helped us in the past, maybe the whole thing could have been handled better.

Those statements aren't necessarily radical. My point is that they aren't things the GOP wants to hear. If Ron Paul wants to be the President, he's got to win the Republican Primary, and the GOP ain't hearnin' none of that.

Man, I really think that my girl here could go all the way. Her poll numbers have been stellar lately. Provided the Rick Perry doesn't get in, I think she might just win this thing.
Keep up the good work Michelle.

Dude, I'm a Democrat. I'm stoked about the idea of Bachmann winning the nomination.

Whatever. All I'm getting out of this is we've got no one suitable to be a president right now.
Fuck politics. It's all bull shit. I know it's important, but I find it hard to care when all I can think of when I consider who I want to vote for is dumb fuckery from each of the candidates.

I think Ted Nugent should be president. He likes killing stuff and having sex with women. He doesn't do drugs. He owns a ranch. This is the type of guy that the Republicans need as their candidate.

Eh. Little mistakes like that happen to everyone.
Calling for the abolition of minimum wage? Not so much

What the bloody fuck. That is something I can understand, and am now legitimately concerned.
But seriously? She confused John Wayne with the serial killer? That's not a small mistake, in my opinion, even if it doesn't mean much in the end.

I'm more concerned about her questioning the constitutionality of the Census when Article I clearly demands it every 10 years. She's supposed to be the constitution candidate and she didn't eve know that.

She also refused to answer anything more than if she was married and/or how many kids, claiming it asks too many personal questions; and conveniently forgetting that the census MUST be answered in full.

She does a /lot/ of Constitution mistakes. I think she once admitted that she's never actually read the Constitution.
